I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

However, the news were basically all the same old stuff, such as how difficult the rescue was, what caused Kayaba Akihiko to do all this, how advanced Kayaba Akihiko's technology was, how these people would be resettled in the future, and so on.

I have never seen anything really useful in the news.

More than two years later, the only people who are still paying attention to the news are the families of the victims or some other people.

And today's news finally saw some changes.

The reason for the change is that the players trapped in the game have finally "woken up".

On a street lined with tall buildings, a report was being broadcast on a building with a TV wall.

----

"After two years, the massive online role-playing game SAO was finally successfully conquered, allowing the victims who were lying in the hospital on life support to finally wake up and ensure their safety."

"According to statistics, of the 10,000 players who infiltrated the game, 6,147 are still alive, and the remaining 3,853 have lost their lives in the game in the past two years, or had their brains damaged by the [NERvGear], and unfortunately passed away."

(I remember the anime said there were more than 4,000 people... After reading the novel, there were more than 6,000 survivors... um... closer to 4,000.)

"This is the largest mass killing our country has seen in decades."

"As for the murderer Kayaba Akihiko, the government agencies are still searching and arresting him..."

----

In fact, many reporters rushed to the scene after learning that the unconscious players had woken up, trying to get first-hand information.

However, people have long been accustomed to this. After hearing it, they just sigh, "Is it finally over?", "They have worked so hard.", "So pitiful." Then they will not take any other action and continue to move forward in a hurry.

After all, my relatives and friends were not involved in this disaster. Instead of spending more time lamenting, I might as well finish the things I have not completed yet.

A hospital in Tokyo——

(A passage from the novel: "Ms. Yui Asuna was also admitted to this Tokorozawa medical institution.")

(Then I asked the omnipotent group member: "Fujiwara Hospital in Saitama.")

(So ​​I decided: "A hospital in Tokyo.")

In a ward filled with the fresh scent of flowers, Asuna lay quietly on the fully-attended bed.

The white sheets reflected the sunlight, emitting a faint glow.

The delicate dark chestnut hair was like flowing water, evenly scattered around the mattress. It looked as if someone had combed it deliberately and then gently smoothed it.

Asuna's skin was translucent and fair. Perhaps it was because she was well taken care of, but she didn't look sickly at all. There was even a hint of rose color on her cheeks.

Judging from the shape of her body under the quilt, Asuna didn't seem to have lost any weight. The smooth curve from her neck to her collarbone was exactly the same as her in the SAO world.

The light cherry-colored lips are slightly moist, and the long eyelashes are hidden under the "helmet", trembling gently, giving people the feeling that they can open them at any time.

Next to Asuna's bed, a woman with a ponytail and a light-colored top was sitting there quietly.

The man was holding a book in his hand, and judging from the title, it seemed to be about nursing.

From time to time, she shifted her gaze from the book to Asuna lying on the hospital bed.

Her eyes were very calm and her peaceful face showed no expression.

She just stared at Asuna quietly for several minutes. After making sure that Asuna still showed no signs of waking up, she turned her attention back to the book.

She was already very familiar with the beautiful girl sleeping on the hospital bed.

Whether it was Asuna's appearance or her body, she knew everything about it.

After all, as Yuuki Asuna's mother, she was a nurse specially hired by Yuuki Kyoko, and she often wiped Asuna's body with the nurses of this hospital to keep it clean.

By now, even if she closed her eyes, she could easily help Asuna wipe her body clean without making any mistakes.

Practice really makes perfect.

This job was undoubtedly the easiest job she had ever had.

Not only is the salary high, but I can also allocate my time freely. As long as I take good care of this "sleeping beauty" on the hospital bed, I can do whatever I want.

However, if she wants to leave the ward, someone must take over her care here.

The reason why she couldn't leave the ward was because of something that happened a year ago.

Chapter 14 Wake up, Hui

A year ago, Asuna's father came to visit Asuna with a younger-looking man.

Her first impression of the man who came here with Yuuki Shozo was that he was a very good person.

He was tall, wearing a dark grey suit, and a pair of glasses with dark yellow frames on his slightly long face. The eyes behind the thin lenses were as slender as silk threads, as if they were always smiling.

He seems very young, probably in his early thirties.

(Sugano Nobuyuki is indeed problematic. In the novel, Riasuna was only 17, but this guy is almost . What a jerk!)

To be honest, the man named Nobuyuki Sugo actually left a good impression on her. At least, in front of Shozo Yuuki, he was always polite to her.

However, for some reason, she always felt that the man's behavior was very strange.

After entering the ward, he first looked around, and then began to praise how decent the decoration in the ward was.

But for some reason, she always felt that the man named Nobuyuki Sugo was actually concerned about whether there were surveillance cameras in the ward.

Because her presence was a bit low, after Yuuki Shozo introduced herself, the man stopped paying attention to her. After just a quick glance at her, he continued to flatter Asuna's father.

Naturally, she didn't care and just picked up the book and continued reading.

However, after the two of them left, near dusk that afternoon, the man named Nobuyuki Sugo actually came back here again.

I clearly questioned him, but this guy just ignored me completely.

Then, he put on an evil smile and began to tell his "Sleeping Beauty" about some of his plans.

Knowing that the guy in front of her was a traitor, she immediately called her employer, Kyoko Yutaka, and then, when the man tried to make a move on Asuna, she stopped him.

At this point, she and Yusei Kyoko had completely taken control of his plans.

There's nothing I can do. This guy is standing next to me and keeps chattering like a villain. He even said he wants to conduct human experiments or something. Isn't this simply courting death?

Finally, she recorded and filmed what Nobuyuki Sugo said in order to preserve the evidence. If he really implemented those plans, then these evidences, plus the efforts of the Yuki family, would be enough for him to have a good time.

However, when Yuki Shozo found out that Nobuyuki Sugo had ill intentions towards his daughter, he immediately cut off all ties with the Sugo family and fired Nobuyuki Sugo from his own research institute.

However, I seem to have heard that a guy named Nobuyuki Sugo committed some crime not long ago and was thrown into prison. It seems that he will be imprisoned for 10 to 20 years.

It took the Xuxiang family a dozen or so years to find someone with connections to use their power. If they hadn't, the time would probably have doubled.

However, these things have nothing to do with her.

I was simply protecting the personal safety of the "Sleeping Beauty" in front of me, which was also within my duty.

After all, after this incident, her salary and bonus increased a lot.

However, the moment she lowered her head to read, she did not notice that Asuna's fingers trembled slightly at that moment.

……

……

There are many smells in the air.

The air flowing into the nostrils contained a large amount of information, allowing Asuna to quickly grasp the relevant information.

First, there was the pungent smell of disinfectant, followed by the unique smell of the sun-dried bedding, the sweet scent of fruit, the smell of one's own body, and a light fragrance.

Asuna slowly opened her eyes, but the moment she opened them, two strong white lights that seemed to pierce deep into her mind suddenly pierced into her eyes, forcing Asuna to quickly close her eyes again.

Judging from the touch of her body, she seemed to be wearing no clothes, which was why Asuna did not move very much at the beginning.

Although, her body was unexpectedly weak, even if she wanted to stand up from the bed, it was unexpectedly difficult.

I slowly opened my eyes and through the gap in the helmet, I could see something like a ceiling above my head.

Moreover, it seemed that there was someone sitting next to me.

Asuna managed to observe it out of the corner of her eye.

Obviously, this is not Aincrad.

"what……"

Asuna opened her mouth slightly, wanting to ask the person next to her, but only let out a hoarse "ahhh".

Asuna couldn't help but frown as her throat, which hadn't been used for two years, felt quite sore.

"Eh? Are you awake?"

The woman next to him put down the book in her hand in surprise.

"Wait a moment, I'll call the doctor and the others over, and notify your parents at the same time."

For some reason, the woman's voice gave people a very reassuring feeling, making Asuna subconsciously follow her arrangements.

"……Um."

Asuna closed her mouth and hummed slightly.

Then, I heard the woman get up and walk out, and the sound of the door opening.

"Mrs. Yuuki, Miss Asuna has woken up."

"Really? Then please look after her for a while, Hui. I'll be there right away."

"Okay, please be safe on the road. I will arrange for a doctor to check Miss Asuna's body."

"Well, thank you for your help, Hui."

"No, this is what I should do."

"In the next few days, you will have to take good care of Asuna. We have been..."

At this point, Kyoko Yukinari couldn't help but sigh. Although her daughter was a little troublesome when she was young, at least under her education, she became a qualified young lady. However, she didn't expect that the successor she had trained with great difficulty was trapped in a game for two years and almost died there. This blow made Kyoko Yukinari unable to sleep well in the past two years.

If possible, she also wanted to go to the hospital to see Asuna right now, but she had a lot of things to do these days, and with her good friend around, she suppressed the impulse in her heart and asked her to take good care of her daughter.

"It's okay. According to what you said before, Miss Asuna shouldn't be the kind of child who makes trouble for no reason. She will understand you."

"I hope so..."

After the two chatted for a while, the woman named Kei and the hospital nurse helped Asuna out of the bed and changed her into loose clothes.

Then, after a few quick checks, Asuna lay back down on the bed.

After all, her body is too weak now and she needs to rest for some time.

"By the way, who are you?"

"Oh, did you forget to introduce yourself?

My name is Kato Megumi, and I have been responsible for your personal care for the past two years. "

Chapter 15 The Evolution of the World

On the first day after waking up, Asuna underwent a simple physical examination and then lay on the bed, quietly listening to Kato Megumi talking about some things Asuna had missed in the past two years, or about Asuna's parents and brother coming to visit her.

The SAO incident can be said to be the hottest topic in the past two years. Some other things are nothing more than arguments between countries and changes in social trends.

Asuna could only respond with a wry smile.

Because she could see that the older sister in front of her who had taken care of her for two years didn't seem to be the type who liked to talk a lot. Instead, she was the type of caring older sister who was good at listening.

It was really too much of a burden for her to take so much trouble to find topics to talk about with me.

In the end, Asuna could only ask Kato Megumi to stop talking by saying that she was tired and wanted to sleep.

At that moment, Asuna seemed to see her sigh silently, then she picked up the book in her hand and continued reading.

Apart from the sound of turning pages, the only sound was the two people's faint breathing.

Asuna lay quietly on the bed, closing her eyes and resting.

It seems that physical weakness leads to mental fatigue.

But in fact, her consciousness was refocused on communicating with the system.

However, compared to the previous system with only one panel, the current SAO system panel can be said to have been perfectly completed.

You want to ask why?
